The CDC and "science" people only have themselves to blame for the low vaccination rates.

Few adults have gotten the COVID and flu vaccine:

By November 9, 2024, an estimated 34.7% and 17.9% of adults aged ≥18 years had received influenza and COVID-19 vaccines, respectively, for the 2024-25 season; 39.7% of adults aged ≥75 years and 31.6% of adults aged 60-74 years at increased risk for severe RSV disease had ever received RSV vaccine. Many unvaccinated adults reported intent to get vaccinated.

I have rheumatoid arthritis. I got my flu and pneumonia shots. I am NOT getting the COVID vaccine.

You know what else I hate? Everyone pointing the finger at Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.:

The findings come amid rising vaccine hesitancy in the U.S., and a week after President-elect Donald Trump named Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent anti-vaccine activist, as his pick for health and human services secretary.

Pediatricians have expressed grave concerns about Kennedy's expected nomination, predicting that the decision-making power he would have over vaccines could accelerate the number of parents who reject the shots for their kids and consequently lead to deadly outbreaks.

The hatred towards vaccines, especially ones for severe illnesses, started decades ago when someone claimed the MMR one caused autism.

Then Jenny McCarthy latched onto the report and spread the misinformation everywhere, scaring families and leading to the decline in vaccines.

Also, the CDC and governments pushing people to get the COVID-19 vaccine without proper tests or hiding data from us turned people off even more.
